  Kronecker biography
Kronecker was taught mathematics at Liegnitz Gymnasium by Kummer, and it was due to Kummer that Kronecker became interested in mathematics.
Although Kronecker was not employed by the University, or any other organisation for that matter, Kummer suggested that Kronecker exercise his right to lecture at the University and this he did beginning in October 1862.
We have already indicated that Kronecker's primary contributions were in the theory of equations and higher algebra, with his major contributions in elliptic functions, the theory of algebraic equations, and the theory of algebraic numbers.

Kronecker was a student and lifelong friend of Ernst Kummer.
Kronecker wrote 1845 his dissertation, at the University of Berlin, on number theory, giving special formulation to units in certain algebraic number fields.
Kronecker also contributed to the concept of continuity, reconstructing the form of irrational numbers in real numbers.

 Leopold Kronecker Biography | World of Mathematics
Kronecker was born into a well-to-do family, and through inheritance and business interests, he remained independently wealthy throughout his life.
Kronecker was extremely vocal in his views on number theory and what he perceived to be the invalidity of the use of anything other than finite numbers in number theory.
Upon Kummer's retirement in 1883, Kronecker was appointed to the chair of mathematics in Berlin, his first official teaching position, and to the position of codirector of Berlin's mathematical seminar.

 Kronecker delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Kronecker delta or Kronecker's delta, named after Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891), is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise.
It is important to note that the Kronecker delta is not the result of sampling the Dirac delta function.
The Kronecker delta is used in many areas of mathematics.

 Kronecker.htm
Leopold Kronecker was born to Isidor Kronecker, a successful business man, and Johanna Prausnitzer, who also came from a wealthy family.
Kronecker believed that mathematics should deal only with finite numbers and with a finite number of operations.
It appears that, from the early 1870s, Kronecker was opposed to the use of irrational numbers, upper and lower limits, and the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, because of their non-constructive nature.

 Biography of Kronecker
Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891) was born on December 7, 1823, in Liegnitz, Germany.
Kronecker was taught mathematics at the Liegnitz Gymnasium by Kummer, and it was due to him that Kronecker became interested in mathematics.
Kronecker is quoted saying "God made the natural numbers; all else is the work of man." He felt that irrational, imaginary, and all other numbers excluding the positive integers were man's work and therefore unreliable.

 Leopold Kronecker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Leopold Kronecker's parents were wealthy, his father, Isidor Kronecker, was a successful business man while his mother, Johanna Prausnitzer, also came from a wealthy family.
Kronecker's parents employed private tutors to teach him up to the stage when he entered the Gymnasium at Liegnitz, and this tutoring gave him a very sound foundation to his education.
Kronecker's primary contributions were in the theory of equations and higher algebra, with his major contributions in elliptic functions, the theory of algebraic equations, and the theory of algebraic numbers.

 Leopold Kronecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leopold Kronecker (December 7, 1823 - December 29, 1891) was a German mathematician and logician who argued that arithmetic and analysis must be founded on "whole numbers", saying, "God made the integers; all else is the work of man" (Bell 1986, p.
This put Kronecker in bitter opposition to some of the mathematical extensions of Georg Cantor, Kronecker's student (cf Davis (2000)pp.
The Kronecker delta and Kronecker product are named after Kronecker, as are the Kronecker-Weber theorem, Kronecker's theorem in number theory and Kronecker's lemma.

 delta function & kronecker delta
The delta function is a eigenfunction of x and the Kronecker delta is...
Kronecker delta G(n-k) (usually for integer argument, not real) G=1 for n=k, =0 for n not=k.
Also, both are used to express orthogonality, given a set of vectors, the arguments being the indices of the two vectors in question: the kronecker delta if that set is countable, the delta function if otherwise.
